The 3 sets of salivary glands are as follows: parotid is the largest and is located near the poll (poll is the place right behind the ears.) submaxillary is located in the jaw. sublingual is located under the tongue.
Cats can't move their jaws side to side, but they can open it, like humans do to eat food.
Just as we think of cats as our pets, they think of us as our pets. And just as we put collars on ours to tell other people that they belong to someone, cats mark to tell the same. If you live in a cat's house, you are part of the territory.
This is a reflex and it is used when cats cannot reach their prey. The movements of the jaw cause the teeth and lips to smack making small noises. That would explain the chattering.Chattering is primitive, instinctive behaviour. It is used to summon other cats, which is paradoxical because the modern cat doesn't hunt in packs. To better understand this behaviour, it is best to look to viverrids (mongoose, civet, genet) which predate cats on the evolutionary ladder.
